Furthermore, we do not pass any data or information to third parties unless our platform members provide us with their express consent or doing such is required by law.
In compliance with legal frameworks, we provide our members with user profiles that are identified with a pseudonym. We evaluate these pseudonym-based profiles for our market research and advertisement purposes. In such cases, any direct inferences that could identify individual persons is not possible.

www.esanum.com uses local storage to enable our users not having to re-enter their data (e.g. login information) every time they visit our websites. This means that the information provided during login is saved as a small text data on the respective computer of access.
Other websites are unable to access the data stored this way. You can check which data is stored in your browser’s Local Storage by using add-ons (for Firefox) such as the "Foundstone HTML5 Local Storage Storage Explorer 1.1". Such add-ons also enable you to delete any locally stored data at any given time. The use of www.esanum.com is also possible without the use of local storage. Besides our local storage usage, there will be no other data or programs downloaded into your computer.
www.esanum.com uses Google Adwords (i.e. ads in Google's search results). When a user clicks on one of these ads, Google establishes a temporary cookie on that user's computer. This cookie allows Google Adwords’ users to evaluate the effectiveness of their ads. As an example, esanum may determine how many people clicked on one of its ads on Google with the following request to fill out a form. Cookies expire in 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you wish to deactivate such cookies used for conversion tracking, you can modify your browser settings to enable the blocking of cookies from the domain: googleadservices.com
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google uses cookies. These cookies generate usage pattern information on our online offers by users. These cookies are usually transmitted to a US-based Google server and stored there.
Google uses such information on our behalf, to analyse online offers usage by users, to collect online offers activity reports and to provide us with further services pertaining our online offers and related internet services associated to our platform. In such cases, usage profiles under pseudonyms from our user profiles can be created from the processed data.
We use Google Analytics only with an active IP anonymization. This means that a user’s IP address is modified and shortened by Google within European Union member states or in other states that are part of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases a full IP address is sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. The IP address that is submitted by a user's browser will not be merged with other data provided by Google.
Users can avoid cookies storage by applying this option in browser software settings. Users can also avoid the collection and processing of cookie generated data by Google regarding their use of our offers by downloading and installing a browser plug-in available in the following link:
